At 14,274 feet, Castle Peak rises up as the tallest 14er in the Elk Mountains. It's a class 2 approach once you reach the upper rockier sections, so don't plan on running every step on this mountain. It is still a popular peak and doesn't require any special gear unless you go in the early spring or late fall when snow is present.
